The Foodbank Project

The Foodbank Project In 2015, The Salvation Army, Countdown and Lucid teamed up to design a self-sustaining, online direct-donation e-commerce platform.

The Foodbank Project is a not-for-profit online shop that makes it easy to donate groceries

If you are needing food assistance: https://www.salvationarmy.org.nz/centres/welfare/ The Foodbank Project was created which gave people across New Zealand a way to donate much needed food and grocery items to The Salvation Army's foodbanks. The Foodbank Project concept was created by Galen King, the found

er of Lucid, who began working on it as a passion project in the evenings on his couch. The project has now developed into a fully functioning online shop for anyone to donate groceries as easily as if they were shopping online for their own food. Now, over five years later, thanks to the generous support of our donors and the hard work of our foodbank teams, The Foodbank Project has expanded to 40+ Salvation Army foodbanks around New Zealand being able to access regular food donations.
